A Blockbuster with substance

Rating: 10/10 (5 September 2014)

I sincerely hope with all my will that Michael Bay and his team watch this movie and learn a lesson from Guillermo del Toro about how to make a good action movie.
Here there's a story that is told, with flesh and bones characters, more or less, well aside metal and aliens.
The classic scifi elements are in place, the effects are awesome but they not shadow or overtake the film entirely.
The pace of the movie is fluid, with its slow and rush in place.
And for the plot-holes and other questions, common, what do you expect from a movie about giant mechanical, robot likes, machines that fight hand to hand against gigantic monsters than comes from another dimension, through a crack in the bottom of the pacific ocean.
Well of course that a more efficient less cost solution could have been putting high tech submarines around the crack, armed with nuclear torpedoes, ready to destroy anything that comes through, but that were gonna be less fun.
A side note, I'm amazed more and more each time I see this huge budgets, I mean, everything is done in a computer. Is it CGI so expensive? Animators must make a fortune, and the price of computers and software ought to be scaling over time, instead of become cheaper, like you see in low end user's equipment.
